Bihar Launches Land-Records Crackdown With Daily Checks, Flying Squads, CCTV

A district outreach beginning December 12 will take complaints directly to officials.

Overview

  • Saying collusion with the land mafia will be rooted out, Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha warned that implicated officials will be identified and punished, with cases to be filed against those using forged revenue documents.
  • Headquarters will verify staff presence by video-conferencing at least three times daily, and any absence without a valid reason must be explained.
  • A flying squad will randomly audit mutation and Parmarjan applications as officials are instructed to speed disposals and stop rejecting cases on flimsy grounds.
  • A control command centre is planned to watch circle offices through CCTV while the department regularly reviews pendency and evaluates performance across zones.
  • The Bhumi Sudhar Jankalyan Samvad starts December 12 to address district-level land issues, and the special land survey is expected to take about one to one-and-a-half more years to complete.
